At Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, workers monitor an overhead crane as it lowers the Centaur upper stage for the United Launch Alliance Atlas V into position the Vertical Integration Facility. Once in position, the upper stage will be attached to the Atlas V booster stage, already at the pad. Image credit: NASA/J
